Question

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form,5x - 9y = 4

Answer 1

To write the equation in slope intercept form, solve the standard form for y, it means, clear y from the equation:

`\begin{gathered} 5x-9y=4 \\ -9y=-5x+4 \\ y=-(5x)/(-9)+(4)/(-9) \\ y=(5)/(9)x-(4)/(9) \end{gathered}`
